DRUNKEN MASTER
Unwanted Dead or Alive #6, $2.95, 8¼ X 10¾, color cover, offset, thick stock, 48
By bradley
Interviews with the likes of the Dropkick Murphys, and TSOL, and tail-kicking fighting styles. Aka the world brought to you by Drunken Master.

DOWN IN FLAMES
$3
By Maddy
Peeing on Donny the Punk, briefly joining a “fascistic art band,” smoking A LOT of weed, meeting Mykel Board, hallucinating and thinking he’s Satan, then Jesus… Jimmy has quite the story to tell!
|
|
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
#1, free (but definitely toss him a buck or a couple of stamps to cover postage)
By Guest Contributor
Although this particular lil’ periodical obviously lacks humor and although some of the content is blatantly too dark and politically correct for my obnoxiously inebriated tastes, it’s still a thought-provoking and gut-wrenching read.

ASSASSIN AND THE WHINER
#14, $1, 5 ½ x 8 ½, copied
By Maddy
This issue is pretty dark – lots of stuff on depression, anger, feeling asexual, alcoholism… reading this was a little uncomfortable.
|
|
ARISE!
#1, $1 (free in Minneapolis), 8 ½ x 11, newsprint, 32 pgs.
By Sean Carswell
I ended up reading this zine cover to cover, and I recommend not only sending these folks a buck to check out their writing, but I also recommend swinging by the bookstore the next time you’re in Minneapolis.
|
|
ORGAN
#74, $3, 8 X 11, b/w and color guts w/ color cover, 44 pgs.
By Cuss Baxter
Organ is having a pretty hard time getting read in this house.
|
|
UNWAXED/FIGHTSCENE
Split, $?, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, copied, 28 pgs.
By Cuss Baxter
Split zines can be pretty cool, but they always freak me out a little...
|
|
SHOOT THE MOON
#1, $?, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, copied, 32 pgs.
By Cuss Baxter
The editor leads off with an “I hate zines” rant which I hope is ironic because she complains about spelling errors and in the same sentence spells “to” for “too.”
|
|
HOPEWELL
#2? (Spring 2001), $1, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, copied, 44 pgs.
By Cuss Baxter
Here you might learn that Roland Kirk was hard bop and that Thelonious Monk is known for an extensive hat collection.
|
|
REASON TO BELIEVE
#4, $2, A4, offset, 72 pgs.
By Cuss Baxter
Somebody’s trying to build the MRR of Europe. And not doing too shabby a job.
|
|
SAVAGE AMUSEMENT
#16, $1, A4, offset, 12 pgs.
By Cuss Baxter
You’ll breeze right through the thing without getting snagged on any forced adjectives or unfettered properisms.

WANT
Volume 1, Issue 2, $3 another buck for shipping, heavy stock, 30 pages.
By Megan Pants
Twisted, yes too, but funny.
|
|
LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS: THE BALLAD OF MEL LICIOUS
$1, 8 1/2 X 11, xeroxed, 24 pgs.
By Cuss Baxter
I applaud and encourage Jimmy’s desire to write, but he strikes me as a sad wannabe.
|
|
MATTE
# 2, $6.95, heavy stock, color cover, 160 pages.
By Megan Pants
The cover story on Mexican wrestling films was by far the best article in the issue. I love wrestling and watch it almost every week.
|
|
ALCO-BEAT
#13, $0.50 or a couple of stamps, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, copied, 48 pages.
By Megan Pants
Most of the articles are cut and paste, which is fine, but they're layered on top of other articles. This makes it just about impossible to read.
|
|
BARRACUDA
#14, $3.50 USA ($5 by mail), glossy cover, some color, newsprint, 40 pages.
By Megan Pants
For all those reviews saying that this is one of the best men's magazines out there, chalk one up for the ladies loving it, too.
|
|
COMMITTED TO THE CUSTODY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
copied, 29 pages.
By Megan Pants
I just want to torture Megan/ with my attempts at poetry.
|
|
BOSTON PUNK FLYERS SURVIVING THE POST-RAT ERA
free, newsprint.
By Megan Pants
Once I started going through them I began noticing how many of the clubs were not in Boston, or even Mass at all.
|
|
NO KIND OF SUPERSTAR
#3, ?, 8 1/2 X 11, 55 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
Billed as the "punk, garage, psych, and power pop zine," it's a little too emo-friendly for my pure reading pleasure.
|
|
GO METRIC
#15, $2, 7' X 8 1/2 ', xeroxed, 66 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
On that tip, they interview Fugazi's Guy Piciiotto solely on his admiration of Queen, quizzing him on his first encounter, what made them tick, and album recommendations.
|
|
TMT
#20, $1, trades accepted, A5, xeroxed, 28 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
The interviews in this Australian zine are very conversational, but get to the point quickly. All in all, it's a zippy read.
|
|
WHIZZBANGER GUIDE TO ZINE DISTRIBUTORS
#6, $4, 8 1/2 X 11, spiral bound, 36 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
A very pragmatic guide. Useful.
|
|
DEADBEAT
#1 and #2, stamps/trade/donation, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, xeroxed 18 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
A brand new, Florida based fanzine that's got its heart in a good place, but is a little editorially loose.
|
|
SKATE AND ANNOY
Volume 2, Number 1, $2 ppd., 8 1/2 X7, xeroxed with color paper cover, 39 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
I learned the same company made Ziploc baggies, napalm, and faulty breast implants: Dow Chemical.
|
|
BIG TAKEOVER, THE
#50, $4.95, 8 1/2 x 11, full color cover, glossy stock, 295 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
Typically difficult to interview bands open up to him, because, in more ways than one, he is one of them. A true, unwavering veteran.
